Mr. Nadeau, we must be clear. With or without a list, we must make sure that the bill also protects citizens from problems caused by lockouts or strikes. In this sense, as we clarify the bill, we must be able to propose the needed amendments that take all these things into account including, among others, the situation in Quebec and the situation in British Columbia.
On the record, Mr. Chairman, we're not here to create other irritants. We are here to have a balanced way and to make sure that we not only protect the balanced way between the employers and the employees, but that we don't also create some negative fallout for the citizens.
I think that transportation plays an important role.
However, I am not satisfied with your answer regarding telecommunications. This matter will be debated, and there will be points of agreement and disagreement on both sides. Contrary to my Conservative friends are saying, both sides have done their research and taken up firm positions. I think that two meetings will be enough.
Are you prepared to clarify what would happen if a telecommunications company such as a television or a radio station went on strike? Could management still provide services to the public? When news is involved, the company is not alone in doing the work. We must show that news of outside events can still be broadcast. In such cases, will the management of radio or television stations be able to do that work?
